How do you draw a drawing in Paint?

Published in Digital Art 2 mins read

To start drawing in Paint, first select a shape or tool, and then choose a color. One suggested approach is to select line shapes from the shapes section and the color yellow from the color palette.

While the original question is broad, drawing in Paint involves the following general steps:

  1. Open Paint: Locate and open the Paint application on your computer (usually found under Windows Accessories).
  2. Select a Tool: Choose a drawing tool from the toolbar. Common tools include:
    • Pencil: For freehand drawing.
    • Brush: Offers various brush styles and thicknesses.
    • Shape tools: Allows you to draw predefined shapes like rectangles, circles, lines, and polygons.
    • Fill: Fills an enclosed area with the selected color.
    • Text: Adds text to your drawing.
  3. Choose a Color: Select a foreground and background color from the color palette.
  4. Draw: Click and drag on the canvas to create your drawing. For shapes, click and drag to size them. For lines, click and drag to determine the length and direction.
  5. Modify: Use the eraser tool to remove mistakes. You can also use "Undo" (Ctrl+Z) to revert your last action.
  6. Save: Click "File" > "Save" or "Save As" to save your drawing as a PNG, JPG, or other supported format.

For more specific drawing techniques, consider watching tutorials tailored to the specific type of drawing you wish to create. For example, the Bipu Art YouTube video mentioned in the references shows an example of one way to draw something in Paint.
